| The most beautiful city built on the middle- | |
| Earth, It's splendour was highly acclaimed, | |
| The Noldor | |
| Elf grew mighty and strong, | |
| In the land were | |
| Turgon Reigned, | |
| Then Tuor was sent by | |
| Ulmo- The lord of the ocean and sea, | |
| To tell the people of | |
| Gondolin, | |
| Prepare to fight or flee. | |
| But Turgon he was stubborn, "That will I not do!". | |
| He had grown to love his city, | |
| And the terror of | |
| Morgoth he knew. | |
| The city was discovered, | |
| And Morgoth sent his legions, | |
| Orc warriors with the fire-drakes, | |
| Led by the | |
| Balrog demons. | |
| They appeared before the gates and quickly the | |
| Gates fell, | |
| The way was now clear, | |
| Through the | |
| Elven halls, | |
| The orcs of such hatred poured into the breach, | |
| With scimitars they stabbed both man and beast. | |
| The Noldor | |
| Elf advanced with hammer of wrath, | |
| And the kindred of the tree-bravely they fought, | |
| The blows from their hammers, | |
| The dint of their clubs, | |
| The orcs fell like leaves but this was not enough. | |
| The lord of the | |
| Balrogs gathered his demons, and made for the folk of the hammer. | |
| They fled in terror rather than of craft, | |
| Down in the plain they all gathered. | |
| But a fire-drake was loosed upon them- | |
| In the house of the hammer they died. | |
| Still it is sung that each | |
| Elf of the hammer, | |
| Took the lives of seven orcs to pay for their own. | |
| Gothmog drove the dragons into the cities heart, | |
| Orcs and Noldor fell under the confusion. | |
| The cold-drakes began to tear the streets apart. | |
| The Noldor began to realise the battle they'd lose. | |
| The most beautiful city built on middle- | |
| Earth, It's splendour was highly acclaimed' | |
| The Noldor | |
| Elf grew mighty and strong. | |
| In the land were | |
| Turgon reigned, | |
| But now it lay akin to ruins, | |
| As the fire devoured its insides, | |
| The last hope for the | |
| Elves who lived- | |
| Was to run and flee and hide. | |
| But Turgon was a noble king- "That will I not do!", | |
| He stayed to die with the city, | |
| The only one he knew. |
